    Stop Spam
    Spam has become a major nuisance to e-mail users and computer technology experts. Sending irrelevant and inappropriate messages, basically for advertising purposes is a bane on the Internet. But yet, people feel they are part of Internet and that it is something you just have to accept as one of the negative aspects of electronic mail.But you need not think spam is unavoidable. There are many different ways of avoiding and fighting spam. And it is also very necessary that you fight it and eliminate it from your system. One way of doing it is by having dummy email addresses using Spam Gourmet or Yahoo’s disposable addresses. This will effectively help you to fight spam as you will be providing this address to little known websites instead of your primary email address. If you get spam in your dummy address, you can just stop using it and not worry about it anymore. And you have to click the ‘This is Spam’ link if you hav

    Marketing Magic on an Imagination Budget
    Marketing is a multi-faceted process that can take you from where you are now to where you want to go. Let’s take a good look at what should be included in your “marketing plan,” but not necessarily in the order shown.Design a dynamite brochure that stresses the benefits to your customers and potential customers of your service and products. Very few people – except maybe your competitors – are interested in what you market as much as they are in how what you market will benefit them or further their goals. Take a look at your brochure.SIX THINGS TO CONSIDER:1. Does it convey that message? 2. Is it eye appealing? 3. Is it on glossy paper? 4. Is the layout attractive? 5. Did you avoid the problem of “too much information?” 6. Are the graphics appropriate in style and number?If you can’t say “yes” to these questions, then set aside that brochure and begin again. You
    It’s never easy to talk about credit. Not with friends, not with family, not online, and, most of all, not with myself. Yes, I let a monthly payment go by here and there. I’ve maxed out my share of credit cards. I’ve bought cars that I really couldn’t afford. I ate out. A lot. At expensive restaurants. And I always ordered the lobster. I always knew, in the back of my head, that I was teetering on the brink of credit destruction. Yet I couldn’t bring myself to admit that my credit was going downhill. I continued applying for credit cards anyway. I didn’t want to run them up, honestly. It just happened.

    One day, reality gave me a swift kick in the rear. I grew weary of renting, so I decided to pursue the proverbial American Dream and purchase a home. I sort of knew that my credit was troubled, but I kidded myself into thinking that it couldn’t be that bad. I went to a mortgage company to finance my dream. When I got there, I filled out an application, and they pulled my credit report. I truly was not prepared for what the loan officer said to me next. “I’m sorry, sir,” he said, “your application has been declined.” I was absolutely stunned and numb. I could not believe my ears. My dreams were decimated in mere seconds. I left the office so dumbfounded that I didn’t even remember the drive home. I got back to the apartment and I torched every Homes For Sale magazine in the fireplace.

    From that very moment, I resolved to clean up my act. Not knowing much about credit, I had to swallow the last ounce of pride I had and called up the loan officer I met with.

    Overextended Credit
    Perhaps you’re on the brink of entering this predicament. Perhaps you’re already months behind on some of your payments. There are a few steps you can take to dig out. First, write out all of your debts, including payments, balances owed, and interest rates. Include your mortgage or rent and every utility bill – cell phones, gym memberships, cable TV, car insurance, everything. Take inventory of everything you pay out.With everything listed, prioritize which liabilities are the most important. Obviously, mortgage would earn the top spot on your list. Next would likely be your utility bills. Water, electric, and gas are absolute necessities.After utilities, any car loan you might have would be pretty important, although you can look to reduce this expense. For example, you can sell your car and purchase a less expensive one. Hopefully, the new car will also be fuel efficient and less costly to insure.Once y

    Another Marketing Insensitive
    Approximately two years ago I first wrote about “Marketing Insensitives.” At the time, I had received a call from a telemarketer offering me some “marketing insensitives” to purchase a product. Yes, she really said this! She was not being clever; she just couldn’t pronounce “incentive.”But, Marketing Insensitives do exist! They are the unfortunate, not-thought-through, ridiculous, dumb things that businesses do that drive customers away.

    om that very moment, I resolved to clean up my act. Not knowing much about credit, I had to swallow the last ounce of pride I had and called up the loan officer I met with. They have general guidelines for approving mortgage loans, he explained. One of the major factors that go into an approval is your credit score. Quite simply, the higher your credit scores, the better your chances of being approved. What’s more, the higher your score, the better the terms of your mortgage; that is, better interest rates, better payments, and lower down payments to name but a few. In my particular case, my score was low. Their minimum requirement is a score of 620. My score was 604.

    The only way that I could get an approval for a home loan, he said, was to raise my credit scores. The good news, he said, was that he could refer me to their sister company. They specialized in approving mortgages for people with challenged credit. In fact, they have been known to approve loans for people with scores as low as 500!

    With a glimmer of hope, I contacted the company he spoke of, known as a “subprime lender.” Sure enough, they had good news for me. “We received your application from our sister company, and I’m happy to tell you that we are able to approve you for a mortgage!” Something didn’t feel quite right, though, so I asked about the terms of the mortgage he approved. It turned out that their loan was going to cost me a whopping $7896.00 in additional interest for the first year, which amounted to roughly an extra $666.00 per month! That was about twice what I used to pay on my car. Think about that…because my scores were so low, I had to pay the equivalent of two car payments in order to purchase a house. Heck, I could’ve bought a Mercedes with that
